Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought or homemade portion Pizza dough
- 1 piece (about 8 oz) Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 small Carrot, julienned
- 0.5 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) Cornmeal or flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce and olive oil. Marinate the chicken breast in this mixture for 10 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the peanut sauce. In another small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, honey, and red chili flakes until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill it for 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
On a lightly floured or cornmeal-dusted surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Spread the prepared peanut sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving about 1 inch around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the peanut sauce.
Top the pizza with the grilled chicken slices, julienned carrot, and sliced red bell pepper.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves, sliced green onions, and crushed peanuts on top.
Slice and serve your Thai Chicken Pizza immediately. Enjoy!
